I do NOT have a problem YOU have a problem

Kitteh: The desire to get inside and be inside a box whenever possible is NOT a problem. I repeat, YOU have the problem—did you ever think that being OUTSIDE of a box was actually the problem? Why don’t you think about THAT?

I would suggest that perhaps kitties have some sort of genetic inclination for cardboard, but today, my cat spent a good amount of time in a rubbermaid storage tub, so I’m afraid the kitty-box-syndrome will always remain a mystery!

Ah, I’ll have to send in some of the pictures of my tuxedo kitty. He fits in to any and every box that he possibly can, and he fits in ones that he also should not. He loves to squish into the boxes from the Snapple we buy, which are hardly cat-sized.

Yeah. He does looks yellowy. Totally matchingks. In fact, how did you get into my house?-for that is surely one of my tabbies. Foxy.
And yes. Miss Fox does like to be in a box.
Rubbermaid storage tubs are a fan favorite here as well. With some careful cutting and added insulation, they make excellent outdoor feral cat cold weather shelters, BTW.

Um, yeah, my tortie needs to go to boxhab… I keep trying to store up boxes bcause we are going to move in about a year and I am a packrat… but she first sheds in them and then sprays in them even tho she has a perfectly clean litter box… Sigh

They tried to make me go to boxhab i said no no no….I have 25 kittys..not one box makes it into the house that is not instantly claimed….they barley wait for us to get the stuff out…there is one in the living room now that has been there 3 weeks lol they take turns getting in …..

“what the??. I get in zee box , and some silly human sticks their ugly face in the box and says how “cute” I am. Then they flash a bright light and try to get me OUT of the box. Sickening! I will gladly to to your Boxhab!”

My friend has a theory: if you put giant wooden crates out on the African savanna, you’d probably return to see lions sitting in each of them. I think someone should try it. In the name of scientific research, of course.

Berthaslave – those “Partnership for a Box-Free America” commercials actually worked on Bertha?
My own cats seem to be more partial to cooking vessels than boxes.
And, um, Meg? (whispers) “pups?”
Or is that a very subtle thinking outside the box reference?

Collapse-a-Cat. Perfect for those cats who just won’t do for a regular carrier. Ventilated, padded, and fitted with a pop-out food dish (dry food only). When you care enough to send only the most particular cats, rely on Collapse-a-Cat to satisfy your needs. Now at discerning pet stores near you!

My kitty needs a bit of box aversion therapy herself. However, her true favorites are the bathroom sink and my collapsible laundry basket (y’know, the ones with wire edges that are made of fabric). She doesn’t care if there’s already laundry in the basket – in she hops!

Ok usually my 14 year old son will make fun of my CO perusing and generally throw some testoster’tude my way if he wants to use the computer and I’m surfing CO. But this picture won him over. He was ROTFLOL at this one an Meg’s witty captioning. Then he sat for about a 1/2 hour and browsed CO. He has deemed CO worthy of LLF (Lulz Liberation Front) sponsorship.

Here;s my question…I have rabbits and they love being under things, (and in things, like boxes) because its like they are hiding from hawks and other prey animals. But cats are basically predators, no?…so why do they have such an affinity for boxes??? I’m sincerely curious.

Snake: I dunno. I was just looking at it and I suddenly got this urge to get inside. No, not just an urge – more than that. It was my destiny to be here; in the box.

Sigint: Destiny…?

Snake: Yeah. And then when I put it on, I suddenly got this feeling of inner peace. I can’t put it into words. I feel… safe. Like this is where I was meant to be. Like I’d found the key to true happiness.

I don’t have that problem Mr. kitteh, if there’s a human-sized box lying around I hop in, wait for somebody to walk past….aand BOOM! I jump out and scare the heck out of them, well mehbeh not the heck…mehbeh just the purgatory, but at least they don’t just shake their heads and look at me despairingly, nope they never do that!

This kitteh will leave boxhab early while blaming it all on a Meow Mix imbalance, cruise around town at all hours whilst being chased by the pupperazzi, getting high on catnip at Petco, and dropping into random CVS and Rite-Aids in the Valley to buy Tidy Cat and Slim Jims. And that’s not counting the protacted court battle with that Tom Cat who left her with a litter of kittens but now just wants her Cat Chow.

Diana THat whole thought prc=ocess escaped me but it think it is becasue the kitty is inside the box verses out side the box… and stay with me here
by being inside the box he is actually thinking outside of the box and therefore due to the pathagorean therum he is really a dog. ; )
